Similar to Issue 1878. I think I've even seen this bug reported somewhere though..

And a similar thread from 2011: http://forum.dlang.org/thread/ik8tq5$1ma0$1@digitalmars.com

But the since 1878 and year 2011 the foreach situation is changed. So I think it's a bug (or missed case) in the recent improvements of foreach.
